cut slight cash in his tough little palm the

to bind UP his hand and offer the little fellow

and when the lady who wound her handker-

he did not feel pretty comfortable, he replied

ing in Norehead, the scene of the recent
Tolliver outrages. The report says
eighteen men armed with Winchesters,

there are, or will be, $50 armed men Sc
cgeted around the town. These men, it
seems, belong to the Logan faction. and
are gathering because news has been
brought that a party Of Tolliver's friends
intended to come from Elliott county and
burn the town. Boone Logan is in More
head. and it was he who ordered the IS
sembing of the men. II is certain that
messan gers were sent to bring il more
men and that Allie W. Young boarded
the train st Mount Sterling and went to
Morehead. Everybody feels that there is
trouble Of the very worst sort ahead.

IMPORTANT TO ODD FELLOWS.

Tho Military Branc!, Of a Lodge Uses
Money Which the Grand Lodge Orders
Them to Pay Back. -
WABASH, md, Oct. G.-For several
months past there has been a very warm
controversy in the Odd Fellows lodge
here, growing out Of an attempt OF the
Canton Of Patriarcls Militant, the new
military branch of the order, to use a
large sum in the treasury Of the lodge to
pay for the new uniforms which the can
ton was ordered to procure. The use
of the money was promptly
enjoned by members who were not inter-
ested in the Canton. \ compromise was
effected and loan of the amount made
payable in ten years, the lodge taking
chattel mortgage on the uniforms as Sc
curity This action was also resisted by
{, few members, and an appeal to the
state grand master was taken. From him
it went to the sovereign grand lodge at
Denver, which body, after 8 hot debate,
decided that the loan to the Canton was
not valid, and that the money must be
refunded The decision will be Of general
interest to Odd Fellows.

The Situation in Ireland and HIS Rela-
tions to A1nerican Labor Reviewed.

guished guest of the knights, standing
meanwhile in the hall without in chat
with visitors and members until District
Workman J.. P. lMcGauhey appeared and
escorted him into the hall, where he was
received with loud applause and cheers.
He was seated On the dias beside Grand
Master Workman POwderly who, IS soon
as the enthusiasm had subsided, raped
the conyeption>to order and said:
els an introduction necessary? A
voice, No.i Then go on. merely wish
to say that the man who is the idol of my
heart, the champion Of the down-trodden
whom 1 love, is here to-day, and if he had
his deserts would stand at the highest
point Of fame. He stands as the repre-
sentative Of bGbor across the water, Hon.
Michael Davitt.''
AS Mr. Davitt arose he was greeted
with loud applause by the delegates,
whose enthusiasm ran into cheers loud
and long. Hessaid in substance.
"There are many reasons why we
should obtain Sor Ireland the coInmenda-
ton Of the greatest labor organization in
the world. Ireland is agricultural, and
we are trying to obtain a land system
that shall be consistent with the laws Of
human justice rather than the selfish
laws Of an her~ditory aristocracy and
grasping monopohes. We seek
in Ireland to accomplish these
ends by on own voices. We
want to keep our people at home to
stem the tide Of enforced emigration. We
have room for 15, 900, 0C0 population; now
there only 5,00o, 900 in the country though
it used to have 100000. This srate will
soon depopulate it. Ireland may have
become a name messyRolymous with poverty
and discomfort. But rs our country has
not sinned against civilization in fighting
to be free, we think we have o right to
public recognition in our cndeayor to
possess our patrimony. The classes who
are ruling and running Ireland are also
trying to drive English home labor
abroad. Should you give official express
sion against the coercion policy now IN
vogue in the British empire, you may OF
fend the arstocracy, but not the toiling
millions of the old world. Victory for
the 7aonopolists in Ireland would stitfen
the backs of labor enemies everywhere
Mr. Davitt scored the opium traffic in
China, the subjugation of India and the
Egyptian war roundly, ANIL concludes:
1sIt is the same power doing all this
that is running Ireland. 1t fears the la1sh
policy much but it fears tke solidarity OF
Irish, Scotch and English more"
At the conclusion Of his speech Nr.
Davitt was rendered q rising vote ,pf
thanks amid great enthusiasm.
